[Intro]--- D Em G x4
Ever Dsince the world Embegan G D(oowie)
Men have Dsailed foreign Emland G D(oowie)
And the Dfortune that they've Emfound G D(oowie)
Is now Dburied in the Emground. G D(oowie)
Some would say the ocean roars (oowie)
As it stumbles to the shore (oowie)
But to me it only sings (oowie)
Of the sorrow that it brings. (oowie)
AAll my friends are dead
Or they're Gdying D
AEmpty laughter turns into Gcrying D
It's death-Gdefying D A
Well, I barely learned to swim, (oowie)
Just enough to save my skin. (oowie)
Now I'll never sail alone, (oowie)
And my harbour is my home. (oowie)

Or they're dying,
And our laughter turns into crying,
It's death-defying.

If there's one thing that I've learned, (oowie)
It's the point of no return (oowie)
And if that's to be our fate (oowie)
Now's no time to hesitate. (oowie)
Now's no time to hesitate
Now's no time to hesitate
